SUMMARY:Smoky Valley Limited Dinner Train with Mrs. Claus
DESCRIPTION:It’s a taste of the coming holiday season with a “double feature” on the Abilene and Smoky Valley Railroad’s Smoky Valley Limited! \nOn Saturday\, December 6th our Christmas dinner train will be truly special since it’s hosted by not Santa\, but by MRS. CLAUS\, who takes the spotlight in hosting a great holiday meal! \nThat afternoon there’s a great matinee at the Great Plains Theater featuring “Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn.” The matinee begins at 2:00 p.m.\, followed by dinner on the Smoky Valley Limited’s Eveland Creek car\, which leaves the depot at 5:00 p.m. \nThe dinner and theater package is $120 per person and is available only by calling the Great Plains Theater box office at 785-263-4574. \nIf you prefer dinner without the theatre\, you can purchase your Smoky Valley Limited dinner train tickets at asvrr.org. Mrs. Claus will be there with our caterer\, Broadway Station in Herington. They’ll present a classic holiday season meal\, featuring Italian chopped salad\, your choice of prime rib OR sugar glazed ham\, bacon wrapped green beans and baked potato\, with a generous portion of Mrs. Claus’ cheesecake. Tea or water will accompany the meal. \nOur train will be decked out in lights with holiday decorations and a warm glow in our three classic dining cars. This holiday adventure begins at 5:00 p.m.\, departing from Abilene’s historic Rock Island Depot for a round trip that features a stop at the Hoffman Mill and General Store in Enterprise. Mrs. Claus invites you to usher in the Christmas season in a special way—and if you’ve been good this year\, maybe Santa will make an appearance too! \nDon’t miss “A Taste of Christmas with Mrs. Claus” on the Smoky Valley Limited! NOTE: If you purchase dinner tickets without the theater performance\, you will be assigned to the Chicago or Enterprise car\, as the Eveland Creek car has been reserved for Great Plains Theater patrons. \nhttps://asvrr.org/rides/ \n(785) 263-1077 \n200 SE 5th Street\, Abilene\, Kansas
